I wondered the same after his derma told me a thumb size portion. I have one week to go and maybe all my questions will be answer to a degree. His symptoms are not extreme so I really do not see him having surgery anytime soon. However, I do not think he is going to tell the doctor what symptoms he is showing and I was instructed by the nurse too allow my son to explain his symptoms.

I only hope he will tell them the truth because he tries to down play the headaches, dizzy spells, vision issues, and pains in his legs. He does not to me, but he has always told his derma that he did not have headaches and I would have too step up and say "well you have been complaining all week" or "you said you had one this morning."

I will let you know when we find out about the thumb size portion.

Thanks,
Tina
